| - Booked a reservation for a Sunday brunch with my girlfriend. I misremembered the timing of the reservation and arrived half an hour late, thankfully they still had enough room to seat us.
We don't usually order alcohol for brunch, but seeing the other tables around us all with goblets of beer, I couldn't help but also order a watermelon wheat beer that I saw on the take across from us. It was very refreshing, lightly flavored, almost like a soft drink - perfect for brunch.
We ordered the "Full Otto" to share - four slices of bread lightly drizzled in olive oil, six poached eggs covered with hollandaise, three sausages, two slices of perfectly seared pork belly, a mound of potatoes and yams, and a tasty baby spinach salad. There was also a couple tiny pieces of fruit
We agreed that the seared pork belly was the most delicious pork dish we've had at any restaurant in recent memory. Every inch of their surface was crisp and intensely flavorful. You could pair each bite with the berry sauce, apple sauce, or mustard.
The poached eggs with hollandaise sauce were also perfectly done - tender whites, creamy yoke. We didn't manage to finish all six of them, but I really wish I could have.
The potatoes were the only disappointing piece on the plate. Wasn't very well salted, no sauce, it may be useful as filler if it were three people sharing the plate, but with so much other delicious items, it went mostly untouched.
The servers were very friendly, and attentive when coffee or beers ran low.
We will definitely be back. The pork belly has me very curious how delicious their other meats might be. Would also not mind trying the other beers on their extensive menu
